Keto Blueberry Chia Smoothie with Almond Milk
Description
The smoothie is made by blending frozen blueberries with peanut butter (or almond butter for a paleo alternative), chia seeds, a granulated low-calorie sweetener like allulose, and unsweetened almond milk. The frozen fruit helps achieve a thick consistency without additional ice, although ice cubes can be added for extra thickness if desired.
The chia seeds absorb some liquid and contribute body and fiber, complementing the protein and fat from the nut butter. Almond milk maintains a low carbohydrate count suitable for keto diets while keeping the smoothie smooth and light.
This smoothie is ideal as a quick meal or snack and is best consumed fresh for optimal texture and flavor. Using a high-speed blender is recommended for even blending. The recipe allows swapping ingredients for dietary preferences and includes storage tips for refrigeration or freezing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries frozen
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter (use almond butter for paleo)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1½ tablespoon allulose or your preferred choice of granulated sweetener, granulated
- 1 cup almond milk or your favorite milk choice, unsweetened
Instructions
- Add all your ingredients to a blender or a high-speed processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into glasses and serve (this keto blueberry smoothie with almond milk is best enjoyed when served immediately)!!
Notes
- Add one cup of ice cubes to the blender for a thicker smoothie if preferred; high-speed blending is required.
- Use almond butter instead of peanut butter to make the smoothie paleo-friendly, and substitute coconut sugar as a sweetener if desired.
- Any unsweetened milk can replace almond milk according to taste and availability.
- Store smoothies in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; shake before drinking as separation may occur.
- Freeze smoothie in freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight and shake well before serving.
- Nutrition estimates should be calculated individually as ingredient variations affect values.
